Above: My two-cents for Font Aid IV, sponsored by the Society for Typographic Aficionados (SOTA). From their website:

“Type designers, graphic designers and other artists from around the world are invited to contribute artwork to be included in a typeface created exclusively for the Font Aid IV effort. The theme of Font Aid IV is “Coming Together” which we will represented though a font consisting entirely of ampersands. Coming Together will be made available for sale through several type distributors, with all proceeds going to Doctors Without Borders. SOTA, a US-based non-profit, is acting as a non-partisan organizing body to help coordinate the effort and ensure all funds are distributed appropriately.”

Submissions are welcome until January 29, 2010.

Now that our secret is out, this ampersand became a pure vision of my now pregnant wife, seated with her legs up, with our child reaching out for a fussball! I believe, and maybe I am wrong, there is a gestalt shift that occurs. I hoped it would communicate a positive feeling for the future, for the women and children of Haiti.
